264 – Episode 264 to a Bright and Hopeful New Future (Finished)

Episode 264: To a bright and hopeful new future (Complete)

After I proposed to Cecilia, we never took off the couple rings on our ring fingers. Flora and Mulia noticed this and asked if we would be holding a national wedding soon.

“Hmm. That’s what I plan to do. And Luke is going to succeed me.”

The maids reacted in confusion to Cecilia’s sudden confession of hers. I told her, on behalf of Cecilia, the offer she had made to me and the reasons why I had taken her to leave her.

“So, should I call you His Majesty Luke now?”

Flora asked, blinking her eyelids. Mulia was also looking at me with an expression of great concern.

“No. It’s not like that right now. “I haven’t officially become emperor yet.”

However, Cecilia expressed the opposite opinion.

“I don’t think it’s a bad idea to practice calling someone by their first name in advance in preparation for later. Luke. “What do you think?”

After listening to it, I thought that wasn’t wrong.

“I think it would be better to follow His Majesty’s opinion.”

“Therefore, Flora, Mulia. “You must be careful about Luke’s title from now on.”

Somehow I ended up becoming an emperor (Jin)…

From that day on, rumors spread throughout the imperial palace that I would be crowned the new emperor. Maybe that’s why, whenever I walked down the hallway, the employees of the imperial palace behaved more politely in front of me than before.

… To be honest, it was a sight I couldn’t get used to, but I guess I’ll have no choice but to gradually get used to it.

“Your majesty. Duke Kylos has arrived in the drawing room.”

While I was doing work in the morning, my butler came to my office and told me the news.

It was my first time meeting Duke Cailos since he was suppressing the rebellion of the aristocratic faction, including Duke Montersen.

“Flora, Mulia. “I’ll be back for a while.”

We left the office while being seen off by the two maids.

“Luke.”

While walking down the hallway, Cecilia held out her right hand. I immediately understood the meaning and held her hand

These days, wherever Cecilia goes, she comes out and she always wants to hold her hand. For me, it was something I welcomed with open arms.

Cecilia’s hand was small and soft, so holding it made her feel good.

“Your hands are always warm.”

“Your Majesty’s hands are as soft as a baby’s hands.”

“…”

I can’t believe how cute it is to look slightly embarrassed.

Upon entering her drawing-room, the Duke of Kyleros saluted Cecilia. Then I greeted him.

Immediately after sitting down at her round table, Cecilia opened her mouth.

“Duke. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude. If it weren’t for you, the imperial palace might have fallen into the hands of the rebels by now. “I should have told you sooner, and I apologize for the delay.”

“I just did my duty as a subject to serve His Majesty.”

Kylos bowed slightly and showed respect.

The reason why Kylos was called here today was because of the imperial succession ceremony. Of course, it was entirely possible for me to ascend the throne as emperor if I received the approval of Empress Olivia.

However, the public opinion of the imperial faction, which had previously served Cecilia as emperor, was also important.

I have already learned through experience what kind of hardship I will face if they do not support me.

“But, didn’t you say you were going to tell me something important today? “I wonder what it is.”

“I was just about to say it, duke.”

Cecilia raised the corners of her mouth and suddenly placed her right hand on the round table. Then she placed her left hand on the round table.

The reason she did this was simple. It was to properly show what kind of relationship we had.

“Your majesty. That ring on the ring finger…”

“I decided to hold a national wedding ceremony for Luke and her.”

“Ah…”

Kylos let out a soft exclamation.

“I expected it would happen like this someday, but… “It’s amazing that it has become a reality.”

Kylos’ eyes then turned to me.

“Secretary. Did you propose to His Majesty?”

“Yes, Duke. “I proposed like a man with a ring.”

Actually, looking back now, I felt like I was swayed by the atmosphere. If possible, I wanted to prepare a little more and propose.

Still, thanks to Cecilia accepting my sloppy proposal, we were able to become engaged.

“You are more manly than you look.”

“Thank you, Duke.”

I bowed to him and expressed my gratitude.

“Duke. From now on, you must not use the title ‘you’ to Luke carelessly.”

“What do you mean by that?”

I stared at Kylos’ face. I was very curious about the Duke’s expression when Cecilia brought up that story.

After a brief pause, Cecilia opened her mouth. She wanted to deliver the shocking news to Kyle Ross.

“On the day of the national wedding, Luke will inherit the throne. From that day on, Luke becomes emperor, and I become empress and rule the empire.”

“…”

Kylos made no sound. She just blinked her eyelids, looking like she didn’t understand what she was hearing.

“My mother, Empress Olivia, has already accepted this.”

“Your majesty… Because I’m old…”

“You heard correctly.”

“…”

Only then did an astonished expression appear on Kylos’ face her. It was a strange feeling to see the expression on the other side change.

Because the duke is not a person who usually shows his emotions like that.

“Your majesty. “May I ask you a question?”

“Yunheohaji.”

Cecilia said with a smile on her lips. Kylos expressed his curiosity as to why he was suddenly passing on the throne.

Well, it was a question everyone would have. The maids also expressed this question to us last time.

“Recently, I have been having doubts about my abilities. “Am I really doing the right thing as emperor?”

“…”

“Of course, there are things I consider myself to have done well. But at some point, I found myself relying on Luke’s advice. Perhaps the position of emperor was too burdensome for me.”

“I had no idea you were harboring such anguish.”

Kylos would know better than anyone else that Cecilia was suddenly crowned emperor.

Because of this, the imperial faction did not show support for Cecilia in the beginning.

“It may sound like an excuse, but in the end, I found someone better suited to be an emperor than me. And he is also the lover I love the most in this world.”

“I sincerely congratulate the couple on their national wedding.”

Kyle Ross bowed his head deeply toward us. Cecilia and I thanked him at the same time.

“So, Duke. There is one more thing I would like to ask of you.”

“Just say anything.”

“I hope the Imperial faction actively supports Luke Nedville, who will soon become Emperor.”

Then Kylos’ eyes fell on me. I straightened my shoulders and tried to show imperial dignity.

… Well, I don’t think it was conveyed properly.

“Secretary… There is no doubt about his abilities. If you are crowned emperor, I think you will become a saint. So, supporting it is only natural.”

“When the duke says that, it feels like I gained a thousand soldiers and ten thousand horses.”

“My condolences to you, Duke.”

Fortunately, it ended well without any need for persuasion.

Next, Cecilia asked if there was anything he wanted as a token of gratitude for helping suppress the rebels last time.

“I’m fine, Your Majesty. However, I hope that generous compensation will be given to our imperial faction members.”

“Okay. “I will review it with my Luke.”

With that, the three-way meeting was concluded.

What we had to do now was to prepare for the national wedding and the royal succession ceremony.

“I’m going to be busy from now on.”

Cecilia muttered on the way back to her office.

“But aren’t you excited? A future where we become a couple.”

“Just imagining it makes my heart flutter.”

Cecilia’s cheeks turned red. As she watched that scene from the side, her heart reacted without her knowing her.

“Hey, Your Majesty.”

“Huh?”

When I stopped walking, Cecilia followed suit. Why did she do that, she asked with her eyes?

“We are going to become a couple soon, so don’t we need to practice calling each other by our first names?”

“Uhm. It certainly makes sense.”

“Then… How about calling me ‘honey’ from now on?”

“Honey…”

Cecilia, who showed a blank expression for a moment, soon looked surprised.

“Ah, I’m still a little embarrassed…”

“Then how about gradually starting tonight?”

“…”

Cecilia didn’t make a sound. I calmly waited for her answer

But then something unexpected came out of her mouth

“Transformation…”

“Yes?”

“…”

Cecilia’s cheeks were noticeably redder than before.

What on earth were you imagining? …

Still, after some convincing, he agreed to practice with me every night. From then on, we practiced calling each other every night.

* * *

As I was preparing for the national wedding and the royal succession ceremony at the same time, there was a lot of work to do.

First, I called in the most skillful tailor in the capital and ordered the uniform I would wear from now on and Cecilia’s wedding dress.

The next thing to do was to prepare for the banquet and select the guests to invite. This task was a little easier thanks to Flora and Mulia taking charge of it.

Cecilia said she would like King Bethel and Queen Louise of the Kingdom of Sergel to attend, so she also sent wedding invitations to them.

And I wrote personally to Vettel’s assistant, Ponta. It was to convey a request to dispose of the mansion I purchased with my own money in the Kingdom of Sergel.

If Cecilia found out about this… Because I’ll be in quite a bit of trouble.

Fortunately, Fonta responded that they would dispose of it as quickly as possible, as requested.

While preparing for the national wedding, I also received good news. It was Kylos’ assurance that the Emperor faction would continue to actively support us.

When a new emperor takes the throne, the most important thing is to quickly secure support. This problem was resolved faster than expected, so I was able to relax for a while.

“I’m so glad, honey.”

“This is all thanks to you.”

While we were relaxing alone, we spoke comfortably to each other.

Calling me ‘honey’ or ‘you’ was awkward at first, but after practicing every night, it has now become natural.

A week before the wedding, our rooms were combined into one.

Originally, I was planning to do it after the national wedding,

“In reality, we are in a relationship similar to that of a married couple. Would there be a problem if we got together in advance?”

It was thanks to the active support of Empress Olivia.

My mother-in-law seems to have no qualifications about this for some reason.

Moreover, he would whisper something to Cecilia as advice, and each time, Cecilia’s face would turn red like a blush.

… Are you getting caught because it’s just fun to make fun of?

Anyway, from that day on, we started sleeping in the same bed. Although we didn’t do anything special, Cecilia always asked me to kiss her before going to bed, and I responded by giving her a deep kiss.

Busy days passed by and the day of the national wedding and royal succession ceremony arrived. The place was the banquet hall of the imperial palace.

Even though the national wedding started at noon, the banquet hall was already crowded with nobles from all over the region. Of course, Emma was there with my family. In addition, Vettel, Louise, Cordelia and Ponta also attended as guests this time.

I exchanged greetings with them and then headed to the waiting room. There, he changed into a red uniform embroidered with a golden dragon and even wore a red cape.

“You really suit me well!”

“You’re so cool!”

The maids who helped with the clothes were shining brightly.

Surely… It didn’t look bad to me. I think it looks cooler because it is decorated as a national wedding.

Immediately after the maids left, Flora and Mulia entered the waiting room. When they saw my outfit, they also complimented me, saying it was really cool.

“You’ve become truly dignified, Your Majesty Luke.”

“I think I’ll fall in love with you again, Your Majesty!”

Mulia was calm, but Flora looked particularly excited today.

The maids started calling me “Your Majesty” A few days ago, saying it was just a rehearsal. Of course, it was only possible because Cecilia tolerated it.

“Have you been to the bride’s waiting room?”

And I also practiced speaking to the maids accordingly, and now I can speak casually as naturally as breathing.

“Yes! You are truly beautiful, so you can look forward to it!”

“That’s right. “You were so beautiful.”

“I’m looking forward to it since you say that.”

Cecilia has already checked my uniform, but conversely, I have not yet checked her wedding dress. I want to leave it as a joy on the day of the national wedding or something.

Well, if I wait just a little longer, I will be able to see Cecilia’s beautiful appearance

Flora said she would now go back to her banquet hall and she took Mulia’s hand hers hers.

“Flora. I have something to tell you for a moment. “Go first.”

“Huh? Really?”

“Yes.”

What are you talking about?

Flora tilted her head, but after saying she understood, she left the waiting room.

“What have you got to say? “What is it?”

“Well, Your Majesty…”

Mulia wriggled her hands on my lower abdomen. I blinked her eyelids and waited for her to speak.

After a moment, Mulia placed her hand on her chest and took a deep breath.

“Is it difficult to talk about?”

“Ah…”

Mulia, who hesitated, closed her eyes tightly and opened them again.

“Your majesty. I am…”

Her hand on her chest she curled into a fist.

“I still adore you, Your Majesty.”

Mulia spoke in a clear voice, and I flinched and trembled with my shoulders.

“Mulia. I am…”

At that time, Mulia raised her right hand and stopped me from speaking.

“You don’t have to say anything, Your Majesty. “Because I already know the answer.”

“Of course.”

“I just didn’t want to regret it.”

Mulia, who had spoken up to that point, bowed low to me, saying she was sorry.

“I’ll be at the banquet hall. “I sincerely congratulate you on your marriage.”

“Thank you, Mulia.”

Mulia left her waiting room. In the quiet waiting room, I was lost in thought for a moment.

Looking back, Cecilia, Flora, Ileina, and even Mulia expressed their feelings to me.

When I just arrived at the imperial palace, I never thought a situation like this would arise…

‘I’ll have to take care of them so they don’t get hurt later…’

While I was lost in strange thoughts, I heard the butler’s voice outside the door.

“Your majesty. You must enter the ceremony hall soon!”

It’s finally time.

I got up from the chair.

* * *

The flower of a wedding could be said to be the bride.

I greeted Duke Kylos, who was the officiant today, and he also responded with a silent bow.

“I salute you, Your Majesty Luke.”

“!”

Today was the first time that Kylos used the honorific title “Your Majesty” To me.

“Thank you, Duke.”

Immediately after exchanging a soft conversation, a loud voice rang out from the end of Virgin Road announcing the bride’s entrance

When I turned back, the door opened,

“Wow!”

The guests who were sitting all expressed their admiration.

Really, it had to be that way.

Cecilia’s appearance was as if a pure white goddess had descended into this world.

With her veil covered, Cecilia wore a daring wedding dress that exposed her slender shoulders and collarbone. The large ribbon on her chest she seemed to make her presence her her her her stand out.

Her her dress her her her clung to her her body her her her, exposing her slim waist her line her her. Of course, the hem of her dress was wide enough to reach the Virgin Road.

It’s a style that the usual Cecilia wouldn’t have chosen.

Probably because today was a special day, it was clear that he gave it that much strength.

‘Really pretty…’

I couldn’t take my eyes off Cecilia, who was slowly approaching me. Eventually, she arrived next to me.

The wavy blonde hair she was shiny

“Cecilia.”

When I called her softly, she lifted her eyes and looked at me.

“You look so beautiful today.”

“!”

Cecilia opened her eyes wide for an instant.

But soon she curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled her cute smile.

“You too are dignified and cool.”

We held hands and turned our heads towards the officiant. Kylos cleared his throat and then opened her mouth.

“We will proceed with the national wedding of Her Majesty Empress Cecilia Campbell Eckhart and Secretary Luke Nedville!”

He skillfully conducted the wedding ceremony and recited the officiant wishing us blessings on our future path.

“Does the groom, Luke Nedville, pledge his eternal love to his bride his, Her Majesty Cecilia Campbell Eckhart?”

“I swear!”

“Do you, the bride, Her Majesty Cecilia Campbell Eckhart, pledge your eternal love to your groom, Luke Nedville?”

“I swear.”

Next, it was time to share the kiss of vows.

She closed her eyes as if she had been waiting for this moment. I bent down slightly and kissed Cecilia’s delicious lips.

“…”

“…”

I parted my lips again. Cecilia gave a signal in her eyes that she was slightly disappointed.

“I’ll do more for you later, honey.”

As I whispered, Cecilia smiled her eyes.

After the wedding was completed, the throne succession ceremony immediately followed. I inherited the golden crown that Cecilia sometimes wore.

Not only Duke Kylos but also Empress Olivia officiated at this event.

… No, now I should call her my mother-in-law.

Anyway, thanks to the public recognition of my mother-in-law and Duke Kylos, I was able to safely inherit the throne. When I put the yellow crown on my head, the banquet hall was applauded so loudly that everyone left.

“With this, His Majesty Emperor Luke Nedville is newly crowned! We hope everyone congratulates them on their future!”

As Kylos shouted, the applause became more enthusiastic.

“Luke.”

“Cecilia.”

There was no longer any need to call her her ‘her her majesty her her her her’her her.

We turned to each other, no matter who went first.

“We will be together forever.”

“Huh. Even when I die, I will be with you.”

Cecilia laughed lightly.

Even though the surroundings were noisy, I could hear the sound clearly.

“I love you, honey.”

“I love you too.”

We lightly hugged each other, and the applause grew louder.

Receiving everyone’s blessings, we walked side by side along Virgin Road.

Towards a bright and hopeful new future that awaits us.
